Impossible to use in a pedal chain

Great phase effects with horrible tone suck when it's off. Maybe there's a way it can be modified but overall I'm pretty disappointed.

So what stuff gets you through those studio sessions?

In the studio I use so many pedals - the entire new Ibanez range, a micro synth, loads of old sixties pedals.
